Prehistoric forest uncovered by storms in Cardigan Bay - in pictures

A prehistoric forest, an eerie landscape including the trunks of hundreds of oaks that died more than years ago, has been revealed by the ferocious storms which stripped thousands of tons of sand from beaches in Cardigan Bay, Wales.

The location of Borth's submerged forest is a well known secret. It stretches intermittently for two to three miles along the shore between Ynys-las and Borth and lies about half-way between high and low water.
